Pinot Noir

Hyde Vineyard,
Carneros, Napa Valley

Challenging, sometimes mercurial, the Pinot Noir grape enroute to bottle rarely fails to provide winemakers with an extraordinary adventure. Vigneron, Larry Hyde, grows Pinot Noir for a prestigious group of winemakers committed to advancing the varietal: Robert Mondavi Reserve, El Molino, Whitethorn, Etude, and Paul Hobbs. Rich and bold, our 1994 Pinot shows deep, ripe red and black cherry fruit and earthy-tobaccoey notes reminiscent of cigar box. Smooth vanilla and lavish toasty oak contribute to the wine’s full structure and lingering palate.
